The Barbican is worth visiting for it's brutalist architecture alone. The concert programming is really diverse; it's home to the BBC Syphony Orchestra, but you'll also find bands like the Dirty Projectors and the National amongst the classical and contemporary composer line up. Plenty of art, dance and theatre too, however, the Conservatory is the real gem that's not to be missed.

British folk culture inspired pub. Head there on Sunday for a pint and a proper Northern roast.

The finest artisan Italian ice cream in the heart of London.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

I really enjoy this vegetarian restaurant. It has everything from amazing healthy soups and salads to healthy dairy free desserts...my favourite is the raw chocolate tart with dairy free coconut ice cream!
